Maternal Caloric Restriction Implemented during the Preconceptional and Pregnancy Period Alters Hypothalamic and Hippocampal Endocannabinoid Levels a…
2016
Journal Article; Exposure to inadequate nutritional conditions in critical windows of development has been associated to disturbances on metabolism and behavior in the offspring later in life. The role of the endocannabinoid system, a known regulator of energy expenditure and adaptive behaviors, in the modulation of these processes is unknown. In the present study, we investigated the impact of exposing rat dams to diet restriction (20% less calories than standard diet) during pre-gestational and gestational periods on: (a) neonatal outcomes; (b) endocannabinoid content in hypothalamus, hippocampus and olfactory bulb at birth; (c) metabolism-related parameters; and (d) behavior in adult mal…
Validation of Using Smartphone Built-In Accelerometers to Estimate the Active Energy Expenditures of Full-Time Manual Wheelchair Users with Spinal Co…
2021
[EN] This study aimed to investigate the validity of using built-in smartphone accelerometers to estimate the active energy expenditures of full-time manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI). Twenty participants with complete SCI completed 10 5-min daily activities that involved the upper limbs, during which their oxygen consumption and upper limb activity were registered using a portable gas analyzer and a smartphone (placed on the non-dominant arm), respectively. Time series of 1-min averaged oxygen consumption and 55 accelerometer variables (13 variables for each of the four axes and three additional variables for the correlations between axes) were used to estimate three mu…
Evolutionary genomics and functional studies on the metabolic role of Blattabacterium, primary endosymbiont of cockroaches
2013
Introducció La simbiosi, entesa com la relació de interdependència entre dos o més individus de diferents espècies, ha tingut un profunda influència al llarg de l’evolució de la vida. De fet, hi ha un ampli consens respecte a la importància de les associacions simbiòtiques, en l’aparició i evolució primerenca de la cèl•lula eucariota, així com en l’evolució del sistema immunitari en eucariotes complexos o en l’adquisició de noves capacitats metabòliques en plantes i animals, permetent-los així explorar noves fonts d’aliments o ocupar nous nínxols ecològics. Segons l’efecte de la interacció sobre els membres de l’associació, es poden distingir tres tipus: comensalisme, quan un dels membres e…
Influencia de los galactooligosacáridos sobre la biodisponibilidad y fermentación colónica de esteroles
2021
El enriquecimiento de alimentos con esteroles vegetales (EV) es una práctica común en el desarrollo de alimentos funcionales orientados a reducir el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares debido a su conocido efecto hipocolesterolemiante. Las bebidas a base de zumo de frutas y leche son una matriz idónea para el enriquecimiento con estos compuestos bioactivos debido a su perfil nutricional saludable. Además, su efectividad se ha demostrado en poblaciones diana como mujeres postmenopáusicas con hipercolesterolemia moderada (población de interés al presentar un mayor riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular). La adición de galactooligosacáridos (GOS) a estas bebidas podría mejorar su funcionalida…

Absorción gastrointestinal de la nevirapina en la rata y potenciales interacciones farmacocinéticas con fármacos antidepresivos
2015
En la actualidad, el síndrome de la inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA) es una enfermedad incurable. Sin embargo, el uso de una adecuada terapia antirretroviral reduce la morbilidad y la mortalidad relacionadas con esta enfermedad y permite retrasar su progresión clínica. El tratamiento de elección consiste en la combinación de, al menos, tres fármacos antirretrovirales, estando presente en muchas de estas combinaciones la nevirapina (NVP), un inhibidor no nucleósido de la transcriptasa inversa del virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana tipo 1 (VIH-1). En los pacientes VIH-positivos, la depresión es una de las comorbilidades psicosociales más comunes, presentando una prevalencia del 20-45 %. E…
Prognosis Impact of Diabetes in Elderly Women and Men with Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
2021
Few studies have addressed to date the interaction between sex and diabetes mellitus (DM) in the prognosis of elderly patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS). Our aim was to address the role of DM in the prognosis of non-selected elderly patients with NSTEACS according to sex. A retrospective analysis from 11 Spanish NSTEACS registries was conducted, including patients aged ≥70 years. The primary end point was one-year all-cause mortality. A total of 7211 patients were included, 2,770 (38.4%) were women, and 39.9% had DM. Compared with the men, the women were older (79.95 ± 5.75 vs. 78.45 ± 5.43 years, p <
Health literacy in familial hypercholesterolemia: A cross-national study.
2018
Background High rates of inadequate health literacy are associated with maladaptive health outcomes in chronic disease including increased mortality and morbidity rates, poor treatment adherence and poor health. Adequate health literacy may be an important factor in the effective treatment and management of familial hypercholesterolemia, and may also be implicated in genetic screening for familial hypercholesterolemia among index cases. The present study examined the prevalence and predictors of health literacy in familial hypercholesterolemia patients attending clinics in seven countries. Design Cross-sectional survey. Methods Consecutive FH patients attending clinics in Australia, Brazil,…
Changes in Body Composition in Anorexia Nervosa : Predictors of Recovery and Treatment Outcome
2015
The restoration of body composition (BC) parameters is considered to be one of the most important goals in the treatment of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). However, little is known about differences between AN diagnostic subtypes [restricting (AN-R) and binge/purging (AN-BP)] and weekly changes in BC during refeeding treatment. Therefore, the main objectives of our study were twofold: 1) to assess the changes in BC throughout nutritional treatment in an AN sample and 2) to analyze predictors of BC changes during treatment, as well as predictors of treatment outcome. The whole sample comprised 261 participants [118 adult females with AN (70 AN-R vs. 48 AN-BP), and 143 healthy controls].…
